Cal Fire, USFS, and BLM have established the following adjective class ratings for 5 levels of fire danger
for use in public information releases and fire protection signing: low, moderate, high, very high, extreme.
Obtain the fire danger rating daily for the project area from the nearest Cal Fire unit headquarters, USFS
ranger district office, or BLM field office.
Arrangements have been made with Cal Fire, USFS, and BLM to notify the Department when the fire
danger rating is very high or extreme. This information will be furnished to the Engineer who will notify
you for dissemination and action in the area affected. If a discrepancy between this notice and the fire
danger rating obtained from the nearest office of either Cal Fire or USFS exists, you must conduct
operations according to the higher of the two fire danger ratings.
If the fire danger rating reaches very high:
1. Falling of dead trees or snags must be discontinued.
2. No open burning is permitted and fires must be extinguished.
3. Welding must be discontinued except in an enclosed building or within an area cleared of flammable
material for a radius of 15 feet.
4. Blasting must be discontinued.
5. Smoking is allowed only in automobiles and cabs of trucks equipped with an ashtray or in cleared
areas immediately surrounded by a fire break unless prohibited by other authority.
6. Vehicular travel is restricted to cleared areas except in case of emergency.
If the fire danger rating reaches extreme, take the precautions specified for a very high fire danger rating
except smoking is not allowed in an area immediately surrounded by a firebreak and work of a nature that
could start a fire requires that properly equipped fire guards be assigned to such operation for the
duration of the work.
The Engineer may suspend work wholly or in part due to hazardous fire conditions. The days during this
suspension are non—working days.
If field and weather conditions become such that the determination of the fire danger rating is suspended,
Section 7-1.02M(2)will not be enforced for the period of the suspension of the determination of the fire
danger rating. The Engineer will notify you of the dates of the suspension and resumption of the
determination of the fire danger rating.

described in this subdivision or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section shall result
in the claim being deemed rejected in its entirety. A claim that is denied by reason of the public

of this section, shall not constitute an adverse finding with regard to the merits of the claim or the
responsibility or qualifications of the claimant.

percent per annum.
(5) If a subcontractor or a lower tier subcontractor lacks legal standing to assert a claim against a

entity a claim on behalf of a subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor. A subcontractor may
request in writing, either on his or her own behalf or on behalf of a lower tier subcontractor, that
the contractor present a claim for work which was performed by the subcontractor or by a lower
tier subcontractor on behalf of the subcontractor. The subcontractor requesting that the claim be
presented to the public entity shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. Within
45 days of receipt of this written request, the contractor shall notify the subcontractor in writing as
to whether the contractor presented the claim to the public entity and, if the original contractor did
not present the claim, provide the subcontractor with a statement of the reasons for not having
done so.
(e) The text of this section or a summary of it shall be set forth in the plans or specifications for any

(f) A waiver of the rights granted by this section is void and contrary to public policy, provided, however,
that(1) upon receipt of a claim, the parties may mutually agree to waive, in writing, mediation and
proceed directly to the commencement of a civil action or binding arbitration, as applicable; and (2) a
public entity may prescribe reasonable change order, claim, and dispute resolution procedures and
requirements in addition to the provisions of this section, so long as the contractual provisions do not
conflict with or otherwise impair the timeframes and procedures set forth in this section.
(g) This section applies to contracts entered into on or after January 1, 2017.
(h) Nothing in this section shall impose liability upon a public entity that makes loans or grants available
through a competitive application process, for the failure of an awardee to meet its contractual
obligations.
(i) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2027, and as of that date is repealed, unless a
later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2027, deletes or extends that date.

Fresno County WWD 40 Shaver Springs
Water Supply Well Construction
C. Middle Zone Fracture Sealing: If a fracture with poor water quality is encountered
that has fractures of good chemical quality above it and below it, then the fracture
will be sealed using the following method. First the test hole will be backfilled with
approved gravel or well abandonment rock to approximately 10 feet below the
fracture to be sealed. Approximately 5 feet of bentonite in 3/8 inch chips will be
placed above the approved gravel or well abandonment rock. This will allow quick
setting cement slurry to be placed under pressure using a tremmie line in the test
hole across the fracture, while leaving the preferred fractures open. The sand
cement slurry will continue to be placed until it is approximately 10 feet above the
fracture(s) to be sealed in order to ensure the fracture(s) are completely sealed. A
minimum of 24 hours after the cement slurry has been placed, the "plug" of sand
cement, bentonite chips,and gravel shall be re-drilled allowing access to the water
of good chemical quality below.
D. Upper Zone Fracture Sealing: If an upper fracture has poor quality water it can be
sealed using two methods.
1. If the fracture is close to the bottom of the annular seal, the annular seal
and casing can be pulled and the 12-inch boring and annular seal extended
to below it.
2. If it is not viable to extend the annular seal to below the fracture, the hole
will be backfilled with approved gravel or well abandonment rock to
approximately 10 feet below the fracture. Approximately 5 feet of bentonite
in 3/8 inch chips will be placed above the approved gravel or well
abandonment rock. This will allow quick setting sand cement slurry to be
placed under pressure using a tremmie line in the test hole across the
fracture, while leaving the preferred fractures open. The sand cement slurry
will continue to be placed until it is approximately 10 feet above the
fracture(s) to be sealed. A minimum of 24 hours after the cement slurry has
been placed, the "plug" of sand cement, bentonite chips and abandonment
rock shall be re-drilled allowing access to the water of good chemical quality
below. The borehole fill material will be removed to allow access for a
pump.
3.5 RE-DRILLING HOLE
A. If gravel is used to protect lower fracture zones while upper or middle fracture
zones are sealed, the test hole shall be re-drilled to a depth as determined by the
Geologist. Continuous 24/7 drilling is not permitted unless otherwise approved by
the County of Fresno. The exact depth of drilling shall be determined by the
Geologist after the test hole is completed and all information interpreted.
B. Once the re-drill is complete, the bore hole shall be airlifted for a minimum of four
(4) hours to remove the drilling fluid and any cuttings caked to the side of the
drilled hole.
C. If additional casing is installed, the casing installation shall be by methods that will
ensure no damage to the casing or the hole.

Evaluation of Bid Item List - Proposal 3
Abbreviations used in the bid proposal sheet are identified in Section 1-1.06, "Abbreviations," of these special provisions.
Bids are required for the entire work. Bids will be compared on the basis indicated in the Notice to Bidders. The bidder shall set
forth for each unit basis item of work a unit price and a total for the item, and for each lump sum item a total for the item, all in
clearly legible figures in the respective spaces provided for that purpose. In the case of unit basis items, the amount set forth
under the "Item Total" column shall be the product of the unit price bid and the estimated quantity for the item.
In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the total set forth for a unit basis item, the unit price shall prevail, except as
provided in (a) or (b), as follows:
(a) If the amount set forth as a unit price is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, or is the same as the amount as
the entry in the item total column, then the amount set forth in the item total column for the item shall prevail and shall be
divided by the estimated quantity for the item and the price thus obtained shall be the unit price;
(b) (Decimal Errors) If the product of the entered unit price and the estimated quantity is exactly off by a factor of ten, one
hundred, etc., or one-tenth, or one-hundredth, etc. from the entered total, the discrepancy will be resolved by using the
entered unit price or item total, whichever most closely approximates percentage-wise the unit price or item total in the
Owner's Final Estimate of cost.
If both the unit price and the item total are unreadable or otherwise unclear, or are omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular.
Likewise, if the item total for a lump sum item is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular
unless the project being bid has only a single item and a clear, readable total bid is provided.
Symbols such as commas and dollar signs will be ignored and have no mathematical significance in establishing any unit price or
item total or lump sums. Written unit prices, item totals and lump sums will be interpreted according to the number of digits and, if
applicable, decimal placement. Cents symbols also have no significance in establishing any unit price or item total since all figures
are assumed to be expressed in dollars and/or decimal fractions of a dollar. Bids on lump sum items shall be item totals only; if
any unit price for a lump sum item is included in a bid and it differs from the item total, the items total shall prevail.
The foregoing provisions for the resolution of specific irregularities cannot be so comprehensive as to cover every omission,
inconsistency, error or other irregularity which may occur in a bid. Any situation not specifically provided for will be determined in
the discretion of the Owner, and that discretion will be exercised in the manner deemed by the Owner to best protect the public
interest in the prompt and economical completion of the work. The decision of the Owner respecting the amount of a bid, or the
existence or treatment of an irregularity in a bid, shall be final.
If this proposal shall be accepted and the undersigned shall fail to contract, as aforesaid, and to give the two bonds in the sums to
be determined as aforesaid, with surety satisfactory to the Owner, within eight (8) days not including Saturdays, Sundays and legal
holidays, after the bidder has received notice of award of the contract, the Owner, at its option, may determine that the bidder has
abandoned the contract, and thereupon this proposal and the acceptance thereof shall be null and void, and the forfeiture of such
security accompanying this proposal shall operate and the same shall be the property of the Owner.

follows:
ARTICLE I. The Contractor agrees to furnish all labor and materials, including tools, implements, and

All in strict compliance with the plans, drawings and specifications therefor prepared by the Owner, and
other contract documents relating thereto.
ARTICLE II. The Contractor and the Owner agree that the Notice to Bidders and Special Provisions,
the Wage Scale (Prevailing Wages), the Plans and Drawings, Addenda and Bulletins thereto, and the
Proposal (Bid Book) hereto attached, together with this Agreement, form the contract, and they are as
fully a part of the contract as if hereto attached or herein repeated.
All portions of the Standard Specifications of the State of California, Department of Transportation, dated
2015, which are not in conflict with this contract shall be deemed a part of the specifications as though
fully therein set forth; provided, however, that revisions to the said Standard Specifications shall apply
only to the extent, if any, included in the Project Details of these specifications or as otherwise
incorporated directly herein. No part of said specifications which is in conflict with any portion of this
agreement, or which is not actually descriptive of the work to be done thereunder, or of the manner in
which said work is to be executed, shall be considered as any part of this agreement, but shall be utterly
null and void.
ARTICLE III. The Owner agrees to pay the Contractor in current funds for the performance of the
contract the sum of SIX HUNDRED NINETY-FIVE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED EIGHTY-SEVEN
DOLLARS AND 00/100 ($695,387.00) it being understood that said price is based upon the estimated
quantities of materials to be used as set forth in the Proposal, except where provisions are made in the

completion of the project the final contract prices shall be revised by change order, if necessary,to reflect
the true quantities used at the stated unit price thereof as contained in the Contractor's Proposal hereto
attached. Payments on account thereof will be made as set forth in the special provisions.
ARTICLE IV. If the Contractor should be adjudged a bankrupt, or if he or she should make a general
assignment for the benefit of his or her creditors, or if a receiver should be appointed on account of his

the provisions of the contract, or if he or she should persistently or repeatedly refuse or should fail,
except in cases for which extension of time is provided, to supply enough properly skilled workmen or

proper materials, or if he or she should fail to make prompt payment to subcontractors or for material or
labor, or persistently disregard laws, ordinances or the instructions of the Engineer, then the Owner may,
upon certificate of the Engineer when sufficient cause exists to justify such action, serve written notice
upon the Contractor and his surety of its intention to terminate the contract, and unless within five days
after the serving of such notice, such violations shall cease and satisfactory arrangements for correction
thereof be made, the contract shall, upon the expiration of said five days, cease and terminate.
In the event of any such termination, the Owner shall immediately serve written notice thereof upon the
surety and the Contractor, and the surety shall have the right to take over and perform the contract,
provided, however, that if the surety within ten (10) days after the serving upon it of notice of termination
does not give the Owner written notice of its intention to take over and perform the contract or does not
commence performance thereof within the ten (10) days stated above from the date of the serving of
such notice, the Owner may take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or by
any other method it may deem advisable, for the account and at the expense of the Contractor, and the

may be on the site of the work and necessary therefor. In such case the Contractor shall not be entitled
to receive any further payment until the work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the contract price shall
exceed the expenses of finishing the work, including compensation for additional managerial and
administrative services, such excess shall be paid to the Contractor. If such expense shall exceed such
unpaid balance, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner. The expense incurred by the
Owner, as herein provided and damage incurred through the Contractor's default, shall be certified by
the Engineer.
